@WrCombs We have two ways, first way would be to use a text editor

Google is your friend.
vi is a text editor that has been around for almost ever. You'll need to google the commands for how to use it.
nano is a generally easier to use text editor.

Yes indeed, good job. Now lets go back to the salt master and check for the salt-minons key.

WrCombs

Now that the IP thing if fixed, try setting up the minion from scratch again.

You have to accept the key

The minions name seems wrong, it should be the hostname of the machine. Didn't pay attention to that when we accepted the key.

the minions name is what i set it to. following mr. scotts instructions on the thread

scottalanmiller

I set the minion's name when I created the VM.

scottalanmiller

Key might have been accepted too fast, that's not a healthy minion name.

So i didnt set the name, because it was already set..
What do we need to Fix this now?

Should i forget and reaccept the key? is that possible?

No, the key with the minion's name never appeared.

WrCombs

@scottalanmiller what is it gonna take to fix it?

Do I have to go into and redo it?
